Punkti's right, Tuttle... there's no real fool-proof method to protect your images... For instance, I don't have Internet Explorer on my machine at home... Linux doesn't come with IE for some odd reason :p Even the porn industry, with it's top-notch methods of security and anti-piracy, cannot completely stop the images from finding their way onto newsgroups and competing websites.* The best you can hope for is to slow it down, to make it tough enough for the theif that he/she decides to throw up their hands and look for easier targets. PS: Jumpstartme2, if you think the mental image is bad, you should see the picture... that guy really could fit a diesel pipe in there... ) /P *Seriously - the porn site ops are usually the 'go-to' place if you want to learn how to seriously secure your site and intellectual property... online porn is a cut-throat business (most of 'em don't spam, contrary to popular belief.) Because they don't quite get the FBI pampering that a Fortune 500 company gets WRT network break-ins, they've learned to protect themselves. Therefore, the porn sites usually have fellowships and admin 'networks', where the best and brightest in security and anti-theft tips and techniques are pioneered and put to use. If I was to hire a security admin and he had an online porn company in his resume, I'd consider that a HUGE plus.
